The B5076 is a short link road to the north of Crewe.
Originally it started on the A532 at the junction of Victoria Street and Market Street and headed north along Market Street. However, this section is now within the town centre relief road and so is unclassified. The current southern end of the B5076 is still on the A532, albeit on traffic lights where that road TOTSOs from Vernon Way onto West Street. The B5076 heads north on the remainder of Vernon Way before turning right at traffic lights to regain its original route.
The road immediately goes under the West Coast Main Line before following it through the suburb of Coppenhall. It reaches a T-junction and TOTSOs left, before going over the railway line again.
After going through Barrow's Green the road enters open country. It passes to the north of Leighton Hospital before ending at traffic lights on the A530 at Bradfield Green.
